Pete Laframboise Passes Away

Laframboise spent a couple of seasons in Oakland, remembered best for a 4 goal outburst in an 11-3 whitewashing of the Vancouver Canucks on January 3rd, 1973. He was described as a talented player who did not apply himself often enough. A likeable teammate known for his constant joking around, he was known to enjoy himself a bit too much off the ice, undoubtedly affecting his play on more than a few nights.

As a result he bounced around the league after leaving Oakland. He briefly appeared in Washington, Pittsburgh and, in the WHA, Edmonton.

I remember that card -- and that year's design ranks among the most underappreciated among collectors, IMHO. But why the . in 'Peter'? -- that's always bugged me.thanks for keeping us up to date on the goings on in hockey!
